~-"~•.. ,-- -•.N compiling this REJ. .D GENEALOGY, I have been ~ actuated in part by my enjoyment of such work, 1 and in part by a desire to do something of value am for the Read family to which my mother belonged, I realize, however, that it is a very incomplete book, for much that was important has passed beyond recovery with the passing away of the older generations and their neglect of family records. If I had had larger means I might, perhaps, by expensive researches have discovered more facts .and made a more perfect record. I have found the written records few and scattered, and not always correct. It has been n-ecessary to depend much on T1·adition; but knowing the uncertainty of such evidence, I have been careful about accepting it unless well verified. I feel sure that the statements of this book can be depended on with reasonable confidence. Some of the kin­ dred have helped cordially, for ·which I return most hearty thanks. Others have seemed indifferent and unresponsive, and if any such do not find much about their O\vn :families, they certainly ·will not blame me. A second edition, perhaps, may be printed. and then all errors in this corrected and deficiencies supplied. HEXRY ::.\!ARTY~ DODD. CLINTON, Jan .. 1912. ::N'EW YORK.

INTRODUCTION

DESIRE to know something about ones ancestors seems natural to ~Iankind, and while one is neither A the better nor the worse on account of his Pedigree, yet it seems a desirable thing to preserve family histories in a Genealogy. This is the more necessary for sometimes the disposition of titles and estates depend on the record. The Bible gives us many genealogies, and ,ve know that among the Hebrews, Chinese, Arabians and Oriental nations generally, much attention was, and is, paid to genealogies. In

England, Parish Regist·ers of births1 deaths and marriages have been kept for centuries. The early New England Iaws required them to be entered in the Town Clerk's Office, and valuable help has been had, in this book, from that source. In New York, until 1887, no such records were requir,ed, but many families are colleeting and printing their records, which can be found in the various libraries.

The Author's Apology~ Though not a Read by name, yet the fact that his mother was one, will be apology enough (if apology be needed), for the effort the author has made to col­ lect, arrange and preserve these items of the family history of the Reads, to ·whom he belongs through his mother, ,Yho was )Iaria, daughter of '\Villiam Reacl.

Female and Collateral Lines. It has been the author's pur­ pose to give a record of all the families descended from our Read ancestor, both on the male and female lines. And, also, notes on other families with whom they have intermarried, be- 1ieving that these notes would add to the value of the book. 6 INTRODUCTION.

Meaning of the Name~ The name Read has been the sub­ ject of many speculations as to its origin and meaning. One writer says that AschanazJ great-grandson of Noah, was the founder of the family. Another traces it to Rhea, an ancient goddess of the old Greek and Roman mythology, who was the wife of Saturn and mother of Juno, Neptune, and the mighty Jupiter himself. Others think it may denote an occupat-ion, from the Saxon Raed - speech, discourse. Or that it may have been used to denote a resemblance to a certain well known plant. Ried in German denotes a hollow stalk. Some think it has been compounded, ,as in Ethelred, or Reed the Good; Conrad, or Reed the Powerful ; Eldred, or Reed the Elder. The spelling ( and misspelling) appear to have been dictated largely by fancy. We not,e no less than 18, viz: Read, Reed, Reade, Reid, Ried, Ride, Red, Rad, Raad, Rheade, Rheadus, Reda, Rada, Redha, Wrede, Whrede, Wada, Wrada.

Reeds of the Old World. The name Read is found in sev­ eral European countries. We note that in the 15th century in Scotland there was a :famous Robert Reed, or '' Robin of Redds­ dale'' (Reeds-dale) , whose figure was carved on a high rock as an armor-clad Giant, for his deeds of valor. In the same vale there d,Yelt a powt>rful clan, a branch of which was called Reed­ augh (Reed-oh). Sir Watter Scott, in his "Fair lVIaid of Perth" refers to them. A Peter Reed was 1..'"Ilighted by Charles V, at the seige of Barbary. His portrait hangs in the council house of St. Giles Church, Edinboro, ·which he endowed with a. fund to haYe the bells rung every day, at 4 in the morning and 8 in the e-i;-ening. Dod 's and Burke's works on English and Scotch Xoble Famili<:.s. give several Reades. with their pedigrees and coats of arms. At the present time (1912) we hear of one Sir Grorge Compton Reade, ·who is a plain American farmer at Howell. )Iichigan, ,Yho claims, ,vith much reason. to be the INTRODUCTION. 7

lhe Reads in America are quite a numerous and patriotic tribe. They. were among the early settlers of New England, Pennsylvania and Virginia. As early as 1630, William Reade, born 1605, whom we believe to have been our ancestor, was one of Gov. Bradford's partn,ers in settling the colony of Boston, l\fass. His large family came over in 1635, in the ship '' Assur­ ance,'' ·which sailed from Gravesend, July 26th, 1635. He set­ tled at Weymouth, 20 miles south of Boston, on the coast. His brother, John Reade, came in 1643, and settled in Rehoboth, :Mass. In 1630 there also came, to Sal€m, :Mass., a" Col. Read," son of Sir Thomas Cornwall, and grandson of the Lord of Shrope­ shire. This Col. Reed, and his posterity, were leading m,en in Salem. About the same time another Read family was found in Plymouth. In 1660, John Reed came to Providence, R. I.. In 16:37~ George Read came to Vii:ginia. His great-great-grandson was George "\~ashington, "Father of his country." The Reads can claim Washington for their family record. Joseph Read, probably a relative, was Washington's military secretary, and would, probably, have been President had he lived. He was a man of unusual ability.* George Read of Del­ aware, was one of the :five men who had the double honor of being a sign-er of the Declaration of Independence and a framer of the Federal Constitution. He lived in fine style at NevYcastle, Del. The Reads of Pennsylvania have furnished some notable

*This Joseph Read, born in the North of Ireland, 1741, came with his parents to America. where he received a fine college and profes­ sional education, and general culture. He was an ardent patriot, and in a variety of very responsible military, civil and diplomatic positions, showed such talents and rendered such invaluable service, that he was counted, in his day, one of the great men of this nation. His moral and religious life was blameless. He died in 1785, while yet in his prime. See Sparks Am. Biog. 8 INTRODUCTION. men in literature and statesmanship. William Read of Woburn, l\Iass., arrived Oct. 6th, 1635. His descendant, James Reed, \Vho lived at Fitz"-Villiam, or Keene, X. H., commanded the 2d Regi­ ment at Bunker Hill, ,,rhich did heavy fighting, losing 166 killed and wounded. James Reed was later made a Brigadier General by the Provincial Congress. Besides James Reed, there were at Bunker Hill, Jeremiah Reed, and Benjamin Reed, Jr., of Rut­ land, who was killed Jun€ 17th, 1775. and also William Warrin, killed at the same battle. It is a ~ell authenticated tradition that our Nathaniel Read had one or more uncles at Bunker Hill, and four cousins, two of whom were killed. The military records of New England and of the Continental Army furnish hundreds of names of Reads who served as regular soldiers, sailo1·s, and militia men, many of them several times. They also were active in the old Indian and Colonial Wars. Their descendants are eligible to most of these patriotic societies, if only they can trace their pedigrees back.

Reads in America in 1790. The First Federal Census, 1790, shows that ( excepting New Jersey, Delaware, Georgia, and part of Virginia, and the, then, Territories) there were in the whole land 1,201 families named Reed, Read, Reade, Reads, Rede, Reede, Reid, Reide, Rhead, Ried. They comprised 6,877 per­ sons, an average of 5.7+ to the family. One family in every 342 was a Read, and it was, and still is, one of the more num­ erous families in our land. They were located by states as follows: l\'1aine 51, New Hampshire 57, Vermont 46, Massa­ chusetts 304, Rhode Island 19, Connecticut 86, New York 88, Pennsylvania. 258. 1Iaryland 71, Virginia (part) 65, ~orth Carolina 105, South Carolina 56. There was one Reed in every 217 persons in :Massachusetts, one every 440 in Connecticut and one in 421 in New Hampshire and one in 292 in Pennsyl­ vama. They were most numerous in the latter states. INTRODUCTIO-:Y. 9

Later Generations in America. The Reads are also to be found among the country's defenders in the "\Var of 1812. Three of our ancestor's sons were in it (and perhaps more), Yiz: IsraeL "\Yilliam and Abner, and his son, John. Israel ·was killed. In the Civil "\Var, 1861, there were many o.f the name who were officers and privates. Several of our cousins have fine military records. One of our cousins belonged to a :Michigan cavalry regiment, a detachment of which captured Jefferson Davis. He guarded the prisoner. Another cousin, Charles Harvey Reed, was at one time a leading la.,vyer of Chicago. F. A. Reed was a M. E. minister in Illinois, and l\I. C. Mason. Baptist missionary to Burma. Francis A. Reed is a successful merchant at Freeport, Ill., as are Elgene and Ervin Reed at Delevan, N. Y. The Lonyo Brothers are pros­ perous brick makers in Detroit. Abner Reed's son, Abner, and Jason Knapp, were famous lake captains. In the later gene­ rations we have many who are teachers, who are named in their places. Frank R. Grover is an able and busy lawyer in Chicago, Ill. ~oward P. Reed is a prosperous builder and con­ tractor in Ashtabula, Ohio, and Dr. A. B. Mason was a fine Doctor and Dentist in Toledo, 0. In all the professions and business line the Reads have a goodly roll. John Whittemore Read and John Meredith Read were writers and the latter a diplomat. Thomas Buchanan Read "\Vas an artist, author and poet. He wrote the famous poem, "Sheridan's Ride". Thomas Brackett Reed of Maine, Speaker of the House three terms, was an able lawyer, poli­ tician and distinguished for humor. "\Yhitelaw Reid has been candidate for Vice-President, and is now (1912) :Minister to England. These are only samples, of what we might mention if our space limits did not forbid.

Read Biographies. In one of the big Biographical Diction­ aries there are given no less than 56 biog~aphies of Reads, who, 10 INTRODUCTION. for one reason or another, -were deemed worthy of mention. But we all know that many noble men live and die, whose work and character are just as gr:and as those whose biographies are pre­ served in the Biographical Dictionary. It must not be inferred that we do not realize the fact in giving this list. We would mention these other Reads. '' to fame unknown,'' if we only had the dat,a. But we note in this list:

Read Genealogies. In '' Durrie 's Index of Genealogies,'' may be found a pretty full list of these books and sources. 12 INTRODUCTION.

Jenning's Genealogy and Savage's Genealogical Dictionar-y also contain some data. The town and country histories: v,here Reads have lived, also afford valuable help. These

The Reed Institute. Simeon G.

""\Vhat it will become ,ve cannot telL perhaps something like Cornell UniYersity in Xew York State. rrhe first Chaplain we note is a B. D. (Bachelor of Divinity) of the Harvard Theological School (Unitarian). l\Ir. Reed traced his pedigree back to William Read of "\Y ey­ mouth and if "\Villiam Read ( 423) is our ancestor, we are of the same stock. William of Weymouth had a son Thomas from ·whom l\Ir.

OUR ANCESTOR All we know about this man and his wife is by tradition. "\Ve have not yet found any authentic records. We have sifted the traditions, and give herewith those that seem pretty well estabHshed, and leave them to be verified or rejected later on. Only two _of his grandchildren are yet living (1912) (both the children of Nathaniel, the youngest son), viz: Lewis Reed of \Vaterto-wn, N. Y., and his sister, :Mrs. Elitha Reed Gordon of Lafargeville, N. Y. Some other grandchildren have been liYing since this work was begun. and we have their tradi­ tions also.

His Given Name. The Descendants of Abner, John, and ~athaniel ,·1;ho live in Jefferson Co., N. Y., say it was ,:John." but they have no record evidence that is to be depended upon. The des0endants of \\'illiam and Lewis "think it was "\Yilliam, '' but are not absolutely sure. 'N' e shall leave it an open question, and in this book refer to him under the ap­ pellation Our Ancestor.* *In the Dickerman Genealogy Nathaniel Reed is said to be the "son of Record Reed." But Nathaniel's surviving children do not 14 INTRODUCTION.

His Wife's Name. That his wife's name was Alice Record seems certain. Anna, daughter of Lewis, Maria of William, and Elitha of Nathaniel, are positive in this. Nathaniel had Record in his name, and Israel a son named Reckord, and all agree that there was an "Uncle Record," her brother, for whom they were named.

"Uncle Record." In nearly all the families there are traditions of an '' Uncle Record,'' her brother, whose home in York State, in his old age, seems to have been near San­ dusky or Arcade, then in Erie Co., where others of the same name had settled. He lived around among his relatives. His given name none remember. Reckord Reed's daughter, in EriB Co., remembers that when she was a little girl he was at their house visiting, and that he was lame, and said to her: "" Chat­ terbox, bring me my cane.'' Maria, daughter of William, who lived at North Gage, said, in 1892: "In my girlhood we used to be visited by my father's uncle, whom we called Uncle Record. He was an old man, and wore shad.es to protect his eyes, which were sore. He also had a fever sore on one of his legs. He was very musical, and taught me to sing with him. He had never married. He ,vas not converted till late in life, and after that event occurred, if asked how old he was, ·would ans,ver by giving the number of years since his conversion, which he would explain thus: 'I ·was born so-,a:nd­ so ( the date of his birth), but I began to live so-and-so ( the date of his conversion).' He had been seven years a cook in the Revolutionary Army, and we loved to hear him tell ,var accept this as certain. Lewis remembers "having heard that our ancestor ,vas given a name not really his."· But that he was called Record Reed in his last years seems certain, but how he got the name we cannot tell. There is no "Record Reed" in the Genealogies, or in the census of 1790 in New England or New York, as there cer­ tainly would have been if it was his real name. There are Johns and Williams enough, but which is his we cannot tell. INTRODUCTION. 15 stories. And this is all we know about Uncle Record."*

Other Traditions. We note these, for some of them may be true. Vv arren, son of Israel, was heard to say that the family came to N. Y. from 1\iaine. His descendants in Jeff. Co., N. Y., have it that there was an older son, named Thomas~ who went to sea and was never heard from afterward. Anna, daughter of Lewis, has the same story, but the name was Samuel. She also says that there was another daughter, named Polly. She also says our ancestor came from Scotland, with a large family, three or four of whom died on the voyage, when he was 22, to Boston, with a brother from whom he was separated for a long time. All traditions agree that the an­ cestor was Scotch.

Revolutionary Traditions. In every branch these abound, and say that some of them were killed in that war. Lewis, son of Nathaniel, and his sister, Elitha, say that they heard their father often say that he had one uncle and four cousins at Bunker Hill-; and that one of the cousins was killed and buried in the trenches, and another died of his wounds. Lewis also says that his father, referring to a Life of Ethan Allen, used to say that the '' Col. Reed'' therein mentioned as eject­ ing settlers from lands claimed both by New York and l\Iass .. in Vermont, was his grandfather's brother, and he was more *There was a Reckord family in Revolutionary times, in Mi.ddle­ boro, Mass., 14 miles from Plymouth, who had a daughter, Allis, who married William Read, Sept. 22d, 1768. She had brothers, Jacob, Samuel, Israel. There was also an Abner Reckord, but whose son he was we do not know. All four of them served in the Revolutionary War, mostly in the militia. One of them, ·Jacob, born Dec. 23d, 1751, engaged Feb. 19th, 1778, to serve in the Continental Army for three years, for the town of Middleboro. He joined Capt. Benson's Co. in Col. Putman's Regiment. The other brothers have left posterity, but we do not find any of Jacob. We believe he ,vas our Uncle Record. If so, we know when he came into existence, and if we only had the date of his conversion, we should know when he began to ''live:· 16 IN T R O D U O T I O "},,- . or less in touch ·with the famous Ethan Allen. This book no doubt is ·Jioore 's Life of Ethan Allen, but it does not giYe the name of the '' Col. Reed.'' Lewis also says his father used to say that we trace back through the 1-Varren-s to Plymouth Rock.

from Down East. All the traditions agree that our Read family came to ~ew York State soon after the Revolutionary War, from "somewhere Down East," which, in York State, means New England. Some say from Conn., some from :Maine, some from Salem, 1\Iass., and some from near Plymouth.* He may have lived in all these places. And there are indications that his sons, some of them, came first, for Abner was here ~n 1790, and perhaps Israel and John. They came to what was then and still is caHed "The Mohawk Coiintry," in the central part of N. Y. State. It lies along the upper part of the :Mohawk River, above Schenectady, and is about 100 miles long and 30 wide. This is now (1912) a populous and pros­ perous country, with three great arteries of trade, the Erie Canal, the 4-track N. Y. C. R. R., and the new 1,000-ton Barge Canal. Utica, with its 70,000 people, is the center of this region. Oneida and Herkimer are the counties in which our people lived, and the region at that time was mainly occupied by

The "Holland Dutch."· The Dutch proper were from H ol­ land and had a language .of their own., though similar to the Ger­ man. The Dutch proper had, between 1608-1660, settled in con­ sider.able colonies at N. Y. City, Brooklyn, Flatbush, Kingston. Tivoli, Catskill and Albany on the Hudson, and up the l\Iohawk as far as Schenectady. About 1709. and later, there ,,·as an immigration of Protestant Gennans from the Palatinate, known as "Palatines," who settled further up the :Mohawk, and *It is impressed on my memory that my mother, in telling where they came from, exclaimed: "Middleboro, or Middle-something, not far from Plymouth, or New Bedford." But I am not sure enough of this to set it down as certain.-H. M. D. I:STRODf,-CTIOX. 17

,Yere called :.Moha,vk Dutch, tho they were not really Dutch at all, only Germans. '\Vhy they were called ·'Dutch'' we cannot explain, unless it be that the other races got the word from Deutschland, the German name for Germany, and its adjective Deutsche, anglicized into ''Dutch.''

THE PALATINES

Of the eight children of our ancestor, two of the sons, Israel and Abner, and possibly John, married Palatine Ger­ man wives. Our ancestor's second wife was a German also. The only daughter married an Englishman, recently come over. The other sons married into good New England families of the old Yankee stock. Those of our readers who trace their lineage back to this Palatine stock, whether thro the '' Mohawk Dutch" or the "Pennsylvania Dutch," would perhaps like to know more about the Palatines. Connected with the French court under the l\1erovingian kings, from 600 to 900 .A. D., was a high judicial official known as '' comes palatii: '' He ,vas master of the royal household and had supreme authority in .a large number of cases· that came before the king for decision. When the king "-ished to confer a particular favor upon the ruler of a province, he granted him the same pO"wer ·within his province as the "comes palatii" ex­ ercised in the royal palace. His title was "Cornes Palatinus," or Count Palatine, and his province was called a Palat-inate. The" Lower Palatinate" \Yas on both sides of the river Rhine, in Europe, and it took in about 1,600 square miles. Manheim and Heidelberg ·were its chief cities. Its location was such that it was often traversed by hostile armies, and many battles ,vere fought on its territory. The people being Protestants, a bout equally divided be­

t"\veen the Reformed and the Lutheran confessions1 suffered also in the religious wars that for 30 years, up to 1713, devas- 18 INTRODUCTION. tated their fertile fields and vineyards. The year 1707 was especially distressing, and they began, in large numbers, to seek refuge in other Protestant lands. In 1709 there were 13,000 of them in London and vicinity, where their misfortunes called out great sympathy and help. Queen Anne gave them permission to settle in· America, and by 1710 there were about 3,000 of them located in five villages, below Albany on both sides of the Hudson, on the Livingston J\Ianors. These lands were scrub pine and too poor for good farming, and they were discontented. Part of them soon found their way to the Schoharie Valley and by 1722 they had settled, most of them, on the fertile Mohawk lands from Canajoharie up to Herkimer, built themselves homes and churches, and became a devout, peaceable, orderly, thrifty, patriotic/' population. In the names of the towns Danube, ):lanheim, Palatine, Fonda, Canajoharie, German Flats, vYe have mementos of their oecupation. The Yankees now far outnumber them in this region, and dominate things. But the Pala tines still continue to be the same in­ dustrious, honest. religious people. They are good citizens and furnish many leaders in business and society. They are largely intermarried and thoroughly Americanized, and the German name is now about all that one eau tell them by.t

Where was Nathaniel Born? Lewis and Elitha, his surviv­ ing children, '· have ahvays heard that it was Salem, Mass.,'' but a personal visit to and inspection of the Salem town rec­ ords failed to find any record of it. The Salem records, ho,Y­ ever, are not complete. The Dickerman Genealogy, and a copy

'~If the reader will refer to the American Revolutionary History, and read about the bloody and decisive battle at Oriskany, on their own territory, fought Aug. 6th, 1777, one of the most important battles in that war, by these Palatines almost wholly, and in which the ,vife of our Israel Read used to say she had four brothers. one of whom helped carry the wounded Gen. Herkimer from the field. he will realize what a brave and patriotic race they were. -;·see l\'.Irs. Diefendorf's book, The Historic Mohawk. 1910. INTROD"CCTION. 19

of a copy from Nathaniel's Bible (which was burned a few years ago), sent us by itr. C. R. Knapp, says he was born in LeRoy. :Olass. ,Ve have not been able to find a LeRoy in :Mass., at any time, but there is one in \Vestern New York. The date however is sure, June 7th. 1791, and his mother died soon afterwards.

The Family Scattered. .After the first wife's death, in 1791, the family was somewhat broken up. Lewis's daughter Anna says her father "\Vas three or four years old when his mother died. and '' his sister Polly raised him.'' and he lived with or near her till old enough to care for himself. The baby, Na­ thaniel, in some way, was put in charge of a German woman, and so it came to pass that Nathaniel's "mother tongue" was German. which he could use . even when old. Of the other children ·we have no record except of Abner, the second son.

Top Notch and Vicinity. In the Census of 1790, we find the name of "Abner Ried" ( the German spelling), in the neigh­ borhood then, and now, called "Top .1.Yotch," because of the sum­ mit in the road, about two miles N. W. of Little Falls, on the Fair­ field Road. Little }.,alls is a noteworthy point, 22 miles east of Utica, ,vhere between rocky bluffs, two, or three hundred feet high. the l\Iohawk River forces its way eastward and -drops in a foaming cataract about 35 feet. The old Erie Canal hewn out o.f th<:.' rocks. had five locks, but the new canal is to have but one, 40½ feet lift. The fine ,vater power has built up a city of 20.000 pPople'. a hiYe of industry, mostly knjtting mills. The fertile l\Ioha,vk Flats and hill lands. lying back had lwen the home of Palatine farmers for fifty years before. They had a church on the hill beyond Top Notch. named }Ian­ heim Lutheran. · It was organized in 1752. and still has an actiYe and useful ljfe. After the vrnr a number of Yankee famjlies settled among them. Our Abner, then 19 or 20 years 20 INTRODFCTIOS. old. is set do,Yn as the head of a family of one. doubtless him­ self. The next neighbor but one~ is '· Isaac Hedrington,'' also a family of- one.* Four years later Polly, then 19, married, the first of the number, followed the next year, 1795, by Abner, who bought a farm and married a Timmerman. Israel, the same year, married another Timmerman, whose home was on the north side of the l\IohavYk. "\Vere they sisters ?t

Israel Read's Location in 1790. He was then 22 years old, and unmarried. vVe do not find, in the Census of 1790. any Israel Read that we can identify with our Israel, but there is an Israel Reed in Canandaigua, with a family of five persons. They were located in Township Eleven of the Third Range of the Phelps and Gorham Purchase. This town's nam,e was Farmington, a bit north of Canandaigua Village. The 12 families resident in the Township were: Abraham Lapham, Isaac Hatheway, Nathan Harrington, John J\lcCumber, Joshua Harrington, Elijah Smith, John Paine, Jacob Smith, John Rus­ sell, Nathan Comstock, Israel ReadJ Reuben Allen.

Israel Read of Bloomfield, N. Y. In this connection we may as ·well mention an Israel Read who appears at East Bloomfield, *"We give the names of the families who lived near Abner Read in 1790, and the number of persons in each family. Abel Mann, 1; Curtis Reed, 5; William - Feeter, 8; Isaac Churchill, 6; Ball Niel­ son, 7; Edward Coffin, 7; Isaac Hedrington, 1; Barnhart Henex, 2; Abner Ried, 1; Benjamin Hindman, 4; John Hadcock, 11; Nathaniel Dodge, 6; Elijah Stackweather, 6; Isaiah .Johnston, 6; John Bying­ ton, 4; Oliver Standard, 4; John Empie, 6; Philip Payne, 7 ( one slave). Curtis Reed belonr.:ed, we believe. to the Rehoboth Read family. Ball Nielson should have been Paul Nelson. tThe first canal at Little Falls. with its tiny locks, one of which may be seen by the historical traveler, was built in 1795. the year our Abner bought his place. Did he and his brothers help build it? ~::This was probably the Israel Read of :\1idd1eboro, l\'Iass., v..,·ho was born in 1752, and most likely had moved to New York. He was younger brother of William (323), and if Wm. (323) was our ancestor, our Israel may have been with his uncle at Canandaigua. INTRODUCTION. 21

just west of Canandaigua, ten years later. He buys land m the adjoining tovvnship. "Xo. 10, Range 4." Aug. 8th, 1800, he purchases of Jonathan Adams, for $420, "exactly 200 acres,'' in Lot 61. Apr. 3d, 1801, he sells Benjamin Stevens "\YHson, for $200, "25 acres, and no more," in Lot 61. Nov. 12th, 1805, he buys more land of Jonathan Adams. And this is all. \Ve hear no more of him or his property. This could scarcely have been our Israel, for our Israel was then mar­ ried, but that Israel had no wife mentioned in the deeds. Quite likely it was the same Israel who was named in Canandaigua in 1790, and moved for business reasons to an adjoining town, and possibly our relative.

John's Location. W,e assume that John was third son and over 16, and '' gone for himself.'' like his brothers. But we do not find him in New York. The Jeff. Co. History says that John :M. Read (No. 27) was born in Conn., also his. older brother Abner. Did our ancestor ever live in Conn.? In 1790 there was an Abner Read in Granby, Hartford Co., Conn., who had a family of one male over 16, three under 16, and two females. In the same town there was a John Read, with one male over 16, and no others .Was this our John? and vvas this Abner the l\'Iiddleboro Abner, born Aug. 12th, 1764, moved to Conn.? There is no Abner Read family in 1790 in Middle­ boro. He was brother of vVilliam (323), and if \V"illiam (323) was our ancestor then our John was living near his uncle, and that he had a son born there, would be a most natural event.

Our Ancestor in 1790. "\Yhat his name should be in the Census of 1790 is almost sure. but ,vhieh one of the many Johns or "\YHliarns is his name? "\Ye assume that he had not

.vet follovved Abner to. York State.. but that he came about th<~ time of ~athaniel 's bfrth. in 1791. to his son. Before that 22 INTRODUCTION. where did he live? We have fonnd a '\\Tilliam Reaa, that we think may have been him. In the '' Gore between ""\\-'Tindsor and Adams/' Mass., near the head-waters of the Deerfield River, in the Housatonic mountain region, not far from the famous tunnel of that name. and not far from the Ethan Allen localities, and a number of other Read families, we find a \\Tilliam Read who, in 1790. had a family of one male over ~ . 16, three males under 16, and two females. Notice how this exactly tallies with our ancestor's family. If we asslune Israel, Abner and John over 16 and gone for themselves, there re­ main William, Lewis and Wolcott. under 16 (Nathaniel not yet born), and Polly and her mother, the two females.*

Their Place of Settlement in New York. After they had all got to the new location in New York State, they began to seek their fortunes, and by 1813 were all married ancl living not more than half-a-day's drive from each other, except Israel, who a couple of years before had moved to Erie Co. Six miles west of Little Falls, at old Fort Dayton (now Herkimer), the l\:Ioha·wk River receives a fine stream from the north, fed by the forests and slopes of the Adirondack :Mountains. It is named lV est Canada Creek to distinguish it from the East Canada Creek, a similar stream flowing in below Little Falls.

The lands are fine grass lands, and many cattle feed in the pastures. North Gage"i" is in the extreme end of Deerfield township, which touches U6ca 12 miles away. About 1808 Polly, who had up to this time lived in Fair­ field near her brother Abner, till she had had seven children. moved to North Gage. They bought there a farm and lived there to the end of life. William, Lewis and Wolcott, also settled there. Lewis was a blacksmith and the others farmers. On the east side of the river were Israel, John and Nathaniel, and we presume our ancestor himself. Here they lived and flourished many years, except that Nathaniel moved to Jeff. Co., lll 1819. J\1:ost of them went to Sackets Harbor in the ,Yar of 1812. They also attended church, and some of them

*Whoever has ever visited North Gage will remember the fine views there to be seen. From its elevated ridges one looks West, North, and East, over a landscape of distant -billowy hill ranges, one above another, to a far-distant horizon, with forests, fields, farm houses and churches in view, and crops and herds. Amid such inspiring scenes did our fathers dwell, and carry on their business and social life. tGAGE's PATEXT.-This was the north end of "Gage's Patent," owned by Lieut. Gen. Sir Thomas Viscount Gage, who was the famous British commander in Boston when the Revolutionary War broke out. After the war he lived in New York City. It had been granted him before the war, and he sold it out to settlers. For fuller details see Biog.

Co. people said was their grandmother, was, 1n reality, their step-great-grandmuther.

Death and Burial of Our Ancestor. Anna, daughter of Lewis, says he and ·his wife died at the same time and were buried the same day. It :is also a well authenticated tradition, that at the funeral of a near relative, some say his funeral, and in the early days before bridges had been generally erected over the creek, that Lewis R-ead and wife, William Read and wife, Wolcott Read and wife, and their sister Polly, who lived on the Deerfield side, were in a boat returning froin the funeral somewhere on the other side, and that· the boat was upset and all thrown i:µto the water. Polly had sunk for the last time, when Lewis .dived down and' rescued her. It vvas with much difficulty that she was• brought to. Some say that the .funeral was ·in the old church at Russia Corners, and if so, his grave is probably in the Gravesv:ille Cemetery, nearby, unmarked.

WILLIAM READ (323) In view of our inability to positively determine our Read pedigree any farther back than what is given above, and in view of the circumstances lending color to the probability that William Read (323) is our ancestor, we have determined to give a short account of him in the hope that further research IXTRODUCTIOX. 25 may verify the probability. If thjs should prove to be our pedigree. it would give us a very honorable ancestry, one tracing back to the early Puritans of Massachussetts Bay, also, thro the vVarrens, to Plymouth and the :\Iayfioi.Yer, to the Colonial wars, and the ReYolution to Lexington and Bunker Hill. This Read family is one of the oldest and finest in X ew England.

William l{ead of Weymouth, born 1605, came to America in the ship "Assuranc.e" in 1635, and with his family settled at Weymouth, a town about 20_ miles south of Boston. He was closely associated with Gov. Bradford in the affairs of the Boston colony. He was a member of Mass. Gen .. Court, 1636- 38, and all his descendants are eligible to our modern Soc. of Col. l\'Iass.

FIRST GE:NERATION- He married A vis Deacon, and their children were : 1. MARGARET. 2. HAN~AH. 3. WILLIAM (No. 3). 4. ESTHER. 5. RUTH. 6. THOMAS. 26 INTRODUCTION.

SECOND GENERATION- JAMES READE ( 9), the youngest son, above, moved to the '' Old Colony,'' lived 25 years at Taunton, and then moved to lVIiddleboro, a town 16 miles back from Plymouth, and died there July 21st, 1726. He married Susannah Richmond. Their family was:

1. JAMES. 2. WILLIAM (No. 39). 3. JOHN. 4. THOMAS. 5. MA.BY. 6. MARTHA. 7. Axx. 8. SUSAN:XA. 9. BENJAMIN.

This family of WILLIAM READ (121) were born in :\Iiddle­ boro, but most of them later seem to have emigr:ated to the valley of the C pper Conhecticut and Deerfield Rivers, and in that frontier region to have been lost sight of. However. we kno·w that Benjamin had a large family. Some of his descend­ ants located near Eaton, l\!Iadison Co .. N. Y. He was very active in the Revolutionary War, and was one of the "minute men" in 1775 and '76, being corporal of militia. His brother, "\Villiam ( 32:3). ·was also one of the '' minute men,'' and '' one of those ,vho turned out at the Lexington alarm.'' He is narned in one place as ,Villiam 3d, for there were at that time in :Middle­ boro. three · ,Villiam Reads, father, son and grandson. He married Allis ReekorcL of 1Yhom we will speak later.

Revolutionary Soldiers. -we also note a large number of Reads. Rickards and vV arrens named as soldiers in the Revo­ lution. No less than 15 men among the uncles and cousins of \\?illiam (323) are so listed. Among those whose relationship we are not able to determine. we find in the Continental Armv., ., Lient. Jeremiah Reed. Capt. '\Yilliam Read, Col. Joseph Read, Col. George Read. Capt. Joshua Reed, Capt. John Read. ,:,Trn: vVARREx PEDIGREE.-As we make it out. it runs thus: l. RICHARD w ARREX and SARAH, his wife, came over in the Mayflower. 2. NATHAXIEL WARREX and SARAH WALKER, owned lot 5 of Middleboro. 3. RICHARD W ARREX and SARAH, his wife. 4. SA:\IrEL WARREX and ELEAXOR BILLIXGTOX. 5. SARAH WARREX and WILLI.BI READ (323). 28 1 ?v~ T R O D U C T I O ").T • and Lieut. "\Yilliam Rickard. In the militia we find Samuel Read, Benjamin Read, Thomas Read. Isaac Re<1d. John Read. Ichabod Read. and Andrew Ricket.

Bunker Hill. At Bunker Hill there ·was a Jeremiah Read, teamster, of Bridges Regiment. There 1vas a Benjamin Read, Jr., of Rutland, in "\Vheeler's company of Doolittle's ReginH'nt, who was killed June 17th, 1775. There was also a \iYilliam vYarrin, who was killed at the same time. He was from Pep­ perell, :Mass. Col. James Reed's Regiment. the 2d :N. H., from the Upper Connecticut River valley, did some of the heaviest fighting, having lost, in killed and wounded. 166 men out of 539 present. Eight of Col. Reed's to1-vnsmen were killed, and that many of the uncles and cousins of "\Villiam Read (323) and his wife, Allis Reckord, were at Bunker Ifill is almost certain.

The Marriage of William Read (323). Both genealogies say that "William Read (323), born Jan. 7th, 1744, married lVIrs. Alice Richards, Sept. 28th, 1763. She was born Sept. 27th, 1750. '' If this was so, then she was only 13 when mar­ ried to William Read, and already a widow. A visit to ~Iiddle­ boro and a careful inspection of the original records in the town clerk's office, cleared up the seeming mystery. In the original it was Richard, not Richards, and the "3 ". in 1763, should be an 8. The '' lVIrs. '' (JVIistress) was a courtesy title, then given by the clerk to all women, married or unmarried. The marriage date was Sept. 22, not 28. Richard was spelled as it was pronounced-Rickard. The facts are that 2\Iiss Allis Reckard, on the 22d of Sept., 1768, a few days before she ·was 18, was married to "\Villiam Read (323), her fellow townsman. The correct spelling of her name is Richard. It is, ,Ye pre­ sume, a German name, in which the ''ch'' has the hard or gutteral sound, like the German "ich." Its true pronunciation is Rickard. IN T R O D D C TI O ).- . 29

The Richard Family. In the old Plymouth colony towns of Eastern :Massachusetts, there were two families, one named Record, the. other Rickard. The Records ·were proud of their family and name, and careful to always spell it Record. The other name, in common use, was often pronounced Record, Rickard, Rickart, Records, Reckord, and sometimes they were called Rickitts, especially when one wished to speak derisiYely of them. We add a few notes on the ancestry of ALLIS· RECKORD, which ought to be of interest to us, especially if ,ve are her descend­ ants. As early as 1637, and perhaps before. GYLES RICK-\.RD was a resident of Plymouth, and freeman:1:' of the town. He married (1st) JuDETH --- and (2d) JEAN TILSON. His son, GILES, married HANNAH DUNHAM, daughter (perhaps) of John Dunham. Oct. 31st, 1651, he "is fined 10 shillings for selling syder to the Indians.'' In 1677 GYLES RICKARD, of_ Plymouth, is listed as one of the 40 or 60 owners of original lots in Middle­ boro. _JoHN RICKARD, son of Giles, married ESTHER BARNES in 1651, and had several children. Among the descendants of Gyles Rickard ,,:as SAMUEL RICKARD, whose family record ,ve c•opied from the l\Iiddleboro town records, as follows: SAMUEL and ZURVL-\.H ll Chron. 2: 16] RECKORD had: 1. ALLIS, born Sept. 27, 1750. 2. JACOB, born Dec. 23, 1751. :3_ SA.MUEL,t born Apr. 3, 1753. 4. CHLOE, born Sept. 16, 1754. 5. MARY, born Apr. 2, 1756. 6. ISRAEL, born Jan. 27, 1757. , . DEBOR..:\.H, born Sept. 12, 1759. S. HAXXAH, born Sept. 8, 1761. *THE TER~I "FREE:.\fAX."-This term designates those who had been chosen by the town to be citizens and voters in that town. They were also proprietors and church members. tSA::\Il"EL RECKARD--REv. SE1n-1cE.-We believe this man and the "Brother Jacob," named below, to have been brothers of Alice Reckard, our ancestor's wife, and that Brother Jacob was our "Uncle Record." We give notes from his application for Rev. pension. He lived at 30 lNTRODUCTIO~--

Aud there was also an' ISRAEL and V OADICEA RECKARD* (per­ haps the Israel above) who hiad : 1. WESTOX. born May 11, 1785. 2. lsRAEL, born Oct. 27, 1787.

The Migration of William (3_23) and Allis. Where did they go? and what became of them? We have absolutely no evidence. They had relatives who moved, probably, to Conn., and surely Middleboro, Mass., and enlisted four. times: 1.-Nov., 1775; served two months, under Capt. Isaac Woods, Col. Colton's Reg., as a private. 2.-Jan., 1776; served three months, under Capt. Brigham, Col. Bailey, as sergeant. 3.-June or July, 1777; one month, under Capt. William Tupper, Col. Titcomb; substitute for Brother Jacob. 4.-Dec. 8, 1777; served three months, under Capt. J. White, Col. Hall. He was teamster on Island at time of Sullivan's expedition. En­ gaged in one battle. He resided at time or_, application in Eaton, Madi­ son Co., N. Y., and his pension was granted June 22, 1833. He gives his birth as Apr. 4th, 1757, but either he or the town records are wrong-probably he. From Madison Co. records we glean that a Samuel Reckard, in 1819, bought of English owners, 64 ¾, acres in town of Eaton. In 1820 he and his wife, Marcia, deeded 16 acres of it to Barnam Key. The will of this Samuel Reckard, made May 6th, 1858, proved June 2d. 1868, mentions wife "Marsha" (Marcia) and sons Alden and Gerry Kendrick. If this was our Samuel, he must have been over 100 years old when he made his will. Israel Reckard and Jacob Reckard were both Rev. soldiers. but do not appear as pensioners._ *THE PALATI::\"E RrcKHARDTS.-Among the Palatines of the Mohawk Valley, who were purely German, flourished some families who spelled the name Richard or Rickhardts. They were Lutherans and have till lately had German as their mother tongue. They have multiplied greatly, and must not be confounded with the Plymouth Rickards, one of whom, John Rickard, settled in Stark, Herkimer Co., early in the 19th century. His sons were William, Conradt, Henry, Peter, .John. and perhaps more. "Tex Rickard" is believed to be from "\Villiam. As a sample of the German Rickards, we note the will of "Ludwig Rickhardt," of the town of Palatine, N. Y., made l\Iar. 20th. 1817. proved Mar. 20th, 1819. He mentions brother Jacob and sons John. Frederk~, George, Ludwig, and daughters Anna, Catherine, Elizabeth. Maria and Delia. "My German Bible I give to my daughter Delia." INTRODUOTION. 31 to the Conn. and Deerfield River valleys. Benjamin, his brother, moved to Sudbury. l\,Iass., died there, and left a son, Benjamin, whose family migrated to Eaton, near Cazenovia, N. Y. But did ,Villiam (323) go to the same region? He ought to be, if living, named in the Census of 1790, but there are so many Williams that we cannot tell which one was his. He may well .have been the ,Villiam, already mentioned as our possible ancestor in the '' Gore of Adams and Windsor,'' and was it his brother Abner, the Abner Read in Simsbury, Conn.? and was it his brother Israel (a Continental soldier), the Israel Read· in Canandaigua, N. Y., taking up lands in payment for military services?

The Circumstances Recounted. Let us now sum up the points favoring the theory that William Read (323) and our ancestor were the same person. We note: 1. Both spelled the name Read. 2. The tradition that our ancestor's "name may have been "\Yilliam. '' 3. Both married an Alice Reckord. 4. "\Vhat more likely than that William (323) and Allis should name their oldest son Israel (as our ancestor did), since they both had brothers -of that name and who were Revolutionary soldiers, one a Continental? 5. That the next son should be named Abner (as did our ancestor) because he had a brother Abner and she a cousin Abner. 6. And how natural to name another son vVilliam (as our ancestor did his fourth son) for himself. and father. and grand­ fathPr. and a long line of \Yilliams back. 7. \Yhere did our Israel get the names "Benjamin," · · \Yarren. '' '' Reckord. '' for his ·sons? If his father ,,·as "\Yilliam (32:3) how plain the case! Benjamin for a favorite uncle, Benjamin; Reckord for "Uncle Reckord." his mother's 32 ISTRODCOTIOX. brother. "\Varren for 'his grandmother, Sarah "\\T arren, and the "\Varren relatives. 8. And how easy to explain the tradition about our tracing back thro the "\V arrens to Plymouth Rock? 9. And the '' one uncle and four cousins at Bunker Hill, hvo of whom ·were killed''-they might have been the BEN­ JAMIN READ, JR., and the WILLIAM WARREN, ·who ·were killed, who may have been cousins of William ( 323). "\Ve submit that these circumstances constitute quite a strong probability that "\Villiam (323) was our ancestor. Our hope is that the facts may yet be certainly ascertained, and this theory verified.

The Dates Harmonized. There remains one more point to consider. Can our ancestor's children be assigned to William ( 323) ? He was married Sept. 22d, 1768, and can we assign to them our Israel as their son? We have not Israel's birth­ day. His gravestone says he died Dec. 31st, 1813, aged 45. This may mean either in his 45th year or that he would he -15 on his next birthday. Either of these suppositions would make the matter all right and proper, as far as Israel is con­ cerned. A more serious difficulty, however, arises when ·we undertake to assign them our Abner. He ,vas born, if we have it right, :Mar._ 3d, 1770. 17 months and 21 days after their marriage, and he the second child. This, of course, is not impossible, but very doubtful. Bnt are we sure that we have Abner's age right? His tombstone says his age was: 79-3-13. But the Jeff. Co. Hist., 1890, p. 565, says he died aged 75. The facts are that Abner separated from his ,vife in his later years at Little Falls, and she lived there to the end and is buried there. He lived a lonely life in Oneida and Herkii:ner Counties, till about a year and a half before he died. when his son James got him to Jeff. County, near his sons and daughters. He is buried there at Three :Mile Bay. The I X T R O D U C 'l' 1 0 ~.,. . 33 sons erected the tombstone, but ·where did they get the age they put on it~ No Bible record is in existence, that we have been able to find, and if there ever vvas one it would, most likely, have been at Little Falls.

GENEALOGY

READ, our ancestor, married, :first. ALICE RECKORD: who died soon after the birth of her youngest child, who was born June 7th, 1791. The family were then, for a time, m<.)re or less scattered. Finally he married again, but when or where or whom we have been unable to ,learn, only that she ·was a German ·woman. and one possessed of unusual physical strength. Abner's descendants in Jeff. Co .. N. Y., have it that Abner's wife was Mary Bellinger. But Ira S. Golden, of Frankfort, says her name was certainly Timmerman, for she died at his father's house, near Little Falls. ''But,'' says Mr. Golden, '' the Bell­ ingers were some way closely connected to us in that gen­ eration,'' which ,vould be true if Mary Bellinger was step­ mother, instead of ,vife, of Abner. Another tradition makes us think she may have been a Petrie. At any rate, he and the second wife both died and were buried at the same time. · That th~y spelled the nam-e Read. their Bibles and legal papers show.

Israel Read, born about 1768,' pr;bably 1n Ne-\Y England; came to the '':Mohawk country"; married, before 1795, l\L\RG_\RET TIMMER.MAN,* a German woman, of a family living on the north side of the l\Ioha·wk, near Little Falls. She ",-.as (says Eva.line Reed, the second wife of her son Charles, with whom she lived in later years) , ' ' a German lady, very intelligent and noble.'' In mature life she could speak but little English. She died Apr. 16th, 1847, at the home of her daughter Eliza, in Wales, and is buried near Strykersville. N. Y. They had:

The three younger children were born 1n Herkimer Co., ·Reckord ,at Newport. The Erie Co. History says that Israel Read came to '' Willink'' (now Wales) with his family in 1811, and settled high up on the crest of "Vermont Hill," near old Fort l!umphrey, about three miles west of South Wales, and about 30 miles E. by S. ~­ of Buffalo, on the head ·waters of the Buffalo Creek. Here he took up a farm and began to clear it of its heavy timber. He - died Dec. 30th~ 1813, "aged 45." After his death his wido·w, :Margaret Reed. was appointed administratrix, Feb. 10th, 1814. The family continued to liv•e there for some time, but later she moved to Strykersville. After her death the fami.ly Bible was

Israel and Abner both married, at Little Falls, women of that name, but what relation they were to each other, if any, we have not been _able to find out. Margaret had brothers, named Daniel, John, Christopher, who settled near M-edina, Orleans Co., N. Y., whom she sometimes visited. They went there either before or soon after Israel Read moved to Erie County. .,- BATTLE OF BTJFFA.LO. ,") I left v,ith JHrs. James Ives, but is now in the possession of h€r great-grandson, ::.\Ir. Frank R. Grover, of Chicago. It is a some­ \\·hat torn but very valuable record. From the Buffalo Express, of Feb. 7th, 1797, and the same paper for :Mar. 22d, 1908, 1and the accounts given us by his descendants, we are able to give a det.ailed account of the circum­ stances of Israel Read's death. Near the close of the war of 1812, on the 29th of Dec., 1813, the British inv,aded the Niagara frontier,* with an army of about 1,000 men, mostly regular soldiers. They were followed by about 100 lawless Indians, who, it was known, would kill every American that fell into their hands. Hence our men were more af'raid of the Indians than the British. To meet this invasion the looal militia were called out. Benjamin Read, being over 16, was drafted, or '' ordered out,'' ,vith his regi­ ment. H,e ·was not well, and so his father, Israel, _volunteered to go in his stead, $!]though he, himself, had what was then called "Tyler's Gripe," a disease that produced a trouble in the side that prevented one from running fast. He also had Asthma, or as it was then called Phthisic. He evidently did not expect to run, as a soldier, or he, perhaps, would not have ventured to go. But he shouldered his gun and set out for the defense of his country. It was bitter cold weather, and the snow lay deep on the fields. As he left home his wife gave him a pair of woolen mittens she had knit for him. His regiment was stationed at Black R:ock, just belo,,- Buffalo. It was ordered out to meet the enemy, and a battle was expected. Israel Read was just then on detached guard duty and might have lmpt out of danger by staying where he was, but chose to go with his neighbors to the fight, and he got another to take

bis place on guard. f\mong the neighbors was Josiah Emery,*. a near neighbor and close friend ( in after years a colonel of militia). They soon met the enemy, and the battle began. It is a matter of history that through the mismanagement of our officers and the fact that our men saw themselves ontnumbe-red, and knew that the Indians were not far behind, that our lines gradually gave way, and our men were on the run. Among the last to run were Col. Emery and Israel Re.ad. 'rhey had to run. For a time Emery accommodated his pace to Israel's gait. At last Israel gave out entirely and said he could run no farther. Then Emery spoke about staying with him and fighting it out there, but Israel ·would not let him. He bade him go on and save himself, and pul1ed off one of the mittens and g:ave it to Col. Emery to hand his wife, when he got back to Willink.

They also 1eft Israel an extra musket. The Indians w1ere then so close upon them that, as Col. Emery used to say, he could hear them panting. He looked back once more and saw Read standing against a tree and ·waving them to go on. That was the last seen of him alive.t Two or three days later they found his body where~ they had left him ;alive, on the frozen ground, entirely stripped of cloth-

*COL. JOSIAH EMERY.-This neighbor and good friend of Israel Read, became Lt. Col. of the 170th Reg. N. Y. Militia in later years. The Emery family stood high in Erie Co. Josiah was deputy sheriff many years. His son, L. H. E;_mery, was a teacher of good repute. His grand­ son, Edward K. Emery, is Justice of the Supreme Court in New York State. Albert E. Emery, another grandson, has been assistant district attorney of Erie County. 1·PATI-n:nc SrnE OF ISRAEL READ.-We venture to quote the words of l\ir. Frank H. Severance, wbo wrote the second Buffalo Express article, on this point : "Xot tbe ieast pathetic part of the death of Israel Reed, was the fare-well message he sent his wife. We read of lovers breaking six­ pences, each keeping a share. in sign of true love and troth. vVas there not an idea akin to this in the last act of the middle-aged, asthmatic.

There ·were indications that two or three other bodies had been taken away, and it is almost certain that he killed two or three, and perhaps mor,e of his foes, and then clubbed them with his guns, one of which was found broken and cut with tomaha;wks. The precise place where this took place was almost exactly where the famous '' Pan American Exhibition,'' at Buffalo, was held. As soon as the ne""WS reached Willink, and the family, Benjamin, the oldest son, ag-ed 18, went .after his father's body and brought it home with the ox-team on an ox sled, covered with a blanket. They buried it in the "Humphrey" Cemetery, nearby, where he now sleeps, with a goodly roster* of patriot dead, waiting the Resurrection mom. At the funeral, the boy Charles, then 12 years old, not having, just then, shoes to wear, h~ feet were wrapped in other garments. A quaint old tombstone was erected, in what was then re­ garded as unusually fine style. A weeping willow droops mournfully from the upper part of the weather-beaten stone, with the solemn urn beneath, and this inscription : I:X MEMORY OF MR.

The weather and time have so blurred the lettering that it is not easily read. Through the efforts of 1\1:r. L. Cornwall, of South Wales, the U. S.

The tombstone itself has been placed as a highly valued relic in the basement of the Historical building in Buffalo, where visitors may see it. Perhaps the time will come when a better monument will be plaeed at the grave.

No. 2 Abner Read. His tombstone at Three Mile Bay, Jeff. Co., N. Y., says he died June 25th, 1849, aged 79.;3-13. This would make his birth :Mar. 12th, 1770. The .Jeff. Co. History says he was born in Conn., but we cannot depend on that book. We re­ gard it however as probably true. He married a German woman named Anna Timmerman, who lived at or near Little Falls. She lived all her life in that town and died about 1849 at the house of Isaac Golden, husband of her daughter Emeline, and is buried at Little Falls. The Census of 1790 names an '' Abner Ried'' ( German spelling), as a family of one male over 16, as in the Top Notch neighborhood. "\Ve are sure this is our Abner, and that he was married about Jan., 1794, and the next year bought the place he was occupying, on which he continued to live for many years and where all his children were born. They had, order not known:

1. BETSEY (14), Nov. 12, 1794; died July 15, 1831. 2. JOHN (15), May 9, 1796; died Aug. 8, 1858. 3. JAMES (16), July 23, 1803; died May 21, 1880. 4. ABNER (17), Mar. 1, 1814; died June 18, 1892. 5.

These were all born probably in Fairfield~ where Abner's place was, at Top Notch. Thre?. towns corner there: l\'Ian­ heim, Fairfield and Little Falls.* "\Vhen they grew up, all the ·children except Betsey and Emeline (who married Isaac Golden and stayed at Little Falls): found their way to new homes in Jefferson Co., N. Y., at the Eastern end of Lake Ontario, opposite Sackets Harbor, at Three l\Iile Bay and vicinity. In that section many of their descendants ·are now living. Abner ·Read continued to live at Top Notch many years. Tradition says he was at one time High Sheriff of Herkimer Co., but his name is not in the official list. He may have been deJJuty sheriff. A Fairfield Tax List of 1815 shows that he then owned 100 acres, one house, two outhouses, no slaves, estate valued at $2,000. In. the State Census of 1825, he had a family of tw~ male adults, four females, two females over 16, one female under 16, one voter, 10 acres improved, four neat cattle, two horses, 15 sheep, one hog. His family had made 16 yards of cloth, __ seven yards of flannel, 79 yards of linen. He does not appear in the Census of 1830 in Fairfield. For some reason he and his wife separated, and he lived by himself, till his sons induced him to come to them in Jeff. Co., about a year or two before he died. He was a soldier of 1812, in the Sackets Harbor Expedition, and is said in his day to have been a '' fine looking man.'' v\T e give herewith, also, the records of his land purchases. They are from the books at Utica in the Co. Clerk's office, where the early Herkimer Co. titles are found.

Glen's Patent was granted June 1st, 1739. Again, Nov. 7th, 1797, John R.

On the same date he mortgaged all his land to Cornelius Glen and Barent Bleecker to secure the payment of $1,500. ,v e see how he came by the 100 acres credited him in the Tax List of 1815. How he finally lost them we do not know. but he may have been the victim of repeated "hard times." His lands adjoined the Churchill's and they in later days owned the places. After this he seems to have had no per­ manent location but lived around in various places.

There was ( 1) William, ( 2) Daniel, ( 3) Daniel, ( 4) Daniel, ( =i) Daniel, ( 6) Ebenezer. Eb­ enezer moved to Warrensburg, N. Y., on the shores of Lake George.

*NOTE ox SIGXIXG WITH MARK.-It must not be inferred from the fact that Wolcott Read and others of our fathers signed with their mark, that they were lacking in natural ability, or that they were inferior to the people of that day or this in reasoning power, business talent, general intelligence and social worth. It was their misfortune and not their fault that schools were few and expensive luxuries, and often beyond their reach in the conditions of their pioneer life. READ GENEALOGY. 49

*THE DICKER:'IIAX FA:\IILY.-Elitha Sperry's mother was a Dicker­ man and sister to the first wife of Rev. Lyman Beecher, D. D., and so she was first cousin to the famous Beecher Family, Rev. Henry vVard Beecher, Mrs. Harriet Beecher (Stowe) and· the rest of that gifted family. Mrs. Stowe wrote the great anti-slavery novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin." The Dickerman family traces back to an ancestor who ap­ pears as a member of the church at Dorchester as early as 1636. The Dickerman Genealogy was issued about 1892. tTHE N.urn P.nIELIA.-This is Pamelia, not Permelia, and is the name of the town just over the Black River, from Watertown.

The above record is a copy of the copy made for Mr. C. R. Knapp, from the old Family Bible. It differs a little in a few places from the Dickerman Genealogy. The old Bible was given to the youngest daughter, Mrs. Bartlett, and after her to the oldest son, \Villiam. He gave it to his oldest daughter, Delia, at Marselles, Ill. Her house was burned, in 1907, with all its conteuts and the highly valued Bible perished. Nathaniel Read lost his mother soon after he was born, and in some way he was placed in the care of a "Mohawk Dutch" person or family, with whom he remained till 14 years old. Thus it came to pass that his mother tongue was Germ~n, which he could use even when old. .After his marriage he lived near his brothers in Russia and Deerfield, till four of his children were born and two died. In 1819 he moved to Jeff. Co., and lived at Clayton Centre till 1826. He then moved to Watertown. In 1840 he bought a fine farm of 134 acres, for $7.60 an acre, near Fishers Landing,':" on the great St. Lawrence River, nearly opposite the present Thousand Island Park. He removed there in 1843, and died there in 1851. His wife, after a time followed her children to who commanded U. S. forces in the war of 1812. He had settled at Brownville, an adjoining town, and built a great stone mansion, ,vhich "Still stands as an interesting relic of early days.

:Maria Read was named Wiser after an esteemed neighbor. Jolin Dodd was a farmer's boy until about 20 years old and then began to seek an education. He became a student of the famous Oneida Institute at Whitestown, a manual labor and anti-slavery school, presided over by Rev. Beriah Green. · He taught one winter a select school at North Gage and Maria Read was his pupil, and they became engaged. Both of them were the subjects of the great revivals in Central New

colony that founded Newark, N. J., in 1667-8. Two of the sons were farmers and mechanics, and they and their sons took up and settled nearly a square mile of the outlying lands, where the Oranges, Bloom­ field, Montclair and Watsessing now are.

York, under the preaching of the celebrated evangelist Rev. Charles G. Finney, 1820-40. They followed :Mr. Finney to Oberlin, and were both academic students · there, and they were a part of the primitive life of Oberlin's beginnings. He studied theology with Finney, .Morgan and :Mahan.* )Ir. Finney married them, at the house of a Dr. Turner, near Elyria, and he was licensed by the Lorain (Congregational) Association, Oct. 11th, 1838, and ordained by the same body Sept. 4, 1840. His name does not appear as an Oberlin graduate, because of some technical rule that he violated, with the approval of his teachers. With this partial educational preparation·f he started out to preach the blessed Gospel. He and his wife were of one spirit. and he served Congregational churches at Guilford and Ridgeville, Ohio, at Franklin and Vernon Center in New York State, at Wellfleet, Mass., at Turner, Harrison and North Bridgton, in Maine, and Alexander and Arcade, in New York State.

*EARLY OBERLIN PIETY.-So intense was the religious life of Oberlin at that time, and so searching were the tests of conversion applied by the tea-chers, that many of the students gave up theh' Christian hopes and sought better ones. Maria was one of the latter, but John Dodd did not give up his. He had, when 7 or 8 years old given his heart to the Savior, at 10 had sought admission to the church, and been put off on account of youth, but had always clung to his boy­ hood hope. He kept it all through life, and on his death-bed made it his dependance. tPARTIAL PREPARATIOX.-John Dodd found in later life that his par­ tial educational preparation detracted from his usefulness in the min­ istry, and, at great cost, gave his son a full college course. tAxTI-SLAVERY PASTOR.-He was a zealous anti-slavery advocate and voted that party ticket when the party was small and despised. But he was not a Garrisonian Abolitionist, and had none of Garrison's spirit. THE CRUICKSH--LVK F A.Ii11LY. 73 her gift in prayer was always spoken of by all who heard her.

His early life was spent on his father's farm. He att:endeu district school at North Gage, and later attended "\Vhitestown Seminary, near Utica, N. Y. In 1865 he entered on the busi­ ness of manufacturing butter and cheese by the factory system, ·which system was then in its infancy. For several years he successfully managed some of the largest factories and cream­ eries in Oneida, Herkimer, Cattaraugus and Cortland Countit:s, in Ne·w York State. In 1869, England desired to introduce the factory system into that country~ and the work of carrying out this idea ,vas placed in charge of a committee. ·who formed an association: with the Duke of DeYons.hire as president. The membership also included Lord Yernon. Lord Scarsdale. Hon. E. K. "\Y. Coke. brother of tlw Earl of Leit·ester. J. G. C'rompton. Esq.~ and se.;-eral others.

Through their agents rn X e,Y York :l\Ir. Schermerhorn vYas recommended for the position, and engaged by the association. He sailed from N e,v York Feb. 19th, 1870. on the steamer HelYetia, and after a stormy passage of 17 days landed at Liverpool, and proceeded to Derby, where he met the members of the association, and where the first factory ·was located, ihe use of the building being given by Alderman Roe. At the same time they wished to try the experiment of a factory located in the country, and Mr. Schermerhorn super­ intended the building of one at Longford, on the estate of the Hon. E. K. W. Coke, which was the first cheese :factory built in England. The system having been introduced in EnglaIH.t attracted the attention 0£ other countries, and Russia, Denmark, Sweden and Italy sent dairy engineers for plans and instructions, which ,vere :furnished by J.Vlr. Schermerhorn. During the winter of 1870-71 he was engaged by a London firm and went to Holland, w·here he managed a factory at Brock, in Waterland, near Amsterdam, and he also gave plaus and specifications for factories in other parts of that country. '\Vhile in Holland he visited the old to1vn of Schermerhorn. in North Holland. The old church is of ancient ar(·hitecture and of special interest for the records it contains. Among these records is the original coat of arms of the Schermer­ horn family, and on the panels are the names of many of the family "\Yho are buried beneath the church.

Warren, R. I., on a visit, and while helping celebrate the Fourth of July had both his hands blown off by the premature discharge of a cannon. The right arm was amputated above the hand, and the left arm above the elbow. But in spite of this helpless condition he began to devise machines and apparatus which, attached to the stumps of his arms, enabled him, little by little, to do almost every kind of useful work, as well as minister to his personal needs. He could even shave himself. · He be­ came a teacher, then a merchant, then a farmer in Berkshire, Vt. He . did farm work, also made very fine grain cradles, and sold them every­ where. His arms became strong and acquired dexterity by use. He was chosen to town offices, and was many years "Esq. Luther," a high honor in those days. He was a good debater, and cheerful and humorous in his intercourse with people. His good wife was one of the best of wives. He was also a religious man, who every morning attended prayers, using the Book of Common Prayers. He died, in Peace, in 1854, trust­ ing God.

She resides with her daughter, :Mrs. Lambkin, near Chanute, and is in very feeble health.

RUSSELL OX THE GRASSE

BY ED\VARD REYNOLDS. [From ~ew York at Gettysburg~ Vol. I, page 453.] ""\Ve give this poem, vYhich our readers will discover is a parody on "Bingen on the Rhine/' not only because it refers to the 60th N. Y. Reg., in which two of our kindred served, but because we believe that all old soldiers will enjoy it and perhaps appropriate its language as descriptive of scenes in their own regiments or battles or army life: Reynolds was orderly for Gen. Slocum at Gettysburg and found a friend of his boyhood, of the 60th N. Y. Reg., mortally wounded, and took his dying messages. The 60th was a St. Lawrence County regiment from the extreme northerly part of N. Y. State. Many of the 60th .boys were from the town of Russell on Grasse River (so named by the French exJ?lorers for its grassy marshes). Edgar Reed and William Bullock were from this town and still live in Russell.

A soldier of the Sixtieth lay dying on Culps Hill, There was lack of tender nursing, there was dearth of surgeon's skill, For the battle hot was raging, and each moment added one To the thousands that lay dying in the hot summer sun. A comrade fighting near him bent to hear what he might say, To receive his latest message to the dear ones far away. The dying soldier faltered, "Ned, I'll never more, alas, See my home and friends in Russell - Russell on the Grasse.

"If you're among the lucky ones, who, when the war is o'er, Returning home in triumph, hear the 'High Fall's' greeting roar, And see the sister's sunny smile, and mother's gleam of joy, When the one beholds her brother and the other clasps her boy, If, with trembling voice, a maiden asks about her brother 'Will,' You can tell her that you saw him fall on Culps foe-girded hill. And tell her, too, - 'twill sooth her grief - how traitors fled en mass, When they met with men from Russell and the towns along the Grasse.

"Tell my brothers, when they ·gather round, the story of to-day, How gallant Greene's New York Brigade held Ewell's hosts at bay, A.PPEXDIX-RFSSELL ON THE GRASSE. 277

And tell them that 'twas at the point ·where foeman turned and fled, That their Brother 'Bill' was found, among a score of Rebel dead. Tell my sister not to \Veep for me, nor grieve, that o·er my tomb No roses planted by her hand, nor violets may bloom. And tell her, if she's true and good, at death her soul shall pass . To a happier home than Russell - happy Russell on the Grasse.

"There's another - not a sister - you will know her when she speaks, By the music in her voice and the roses on her cheeks. But no, her voice will lose its ring, the roses take to :flight, When she reads my name, to-morrow, in the death roll of the fight. Last night, in dreams, I stood within a church, and by my side, Her hand confidingly in mine, she stood my queenly bride. A happy dream! but oh. 'twill never, never come to pass, We shall meet no more in Russell, peac~ful Russell on the Grasse.

•·1n coming years, when you relate the story of the war- Of the days when millions marched to beat of drum and cannon jar - You can truly say the sons of old St. Lawrence were as bold As the boldest of their comrades - brave as bravest knights of old, And of all the gallant regiments that faced the fire of death, None faced it with a firmer front than did the Sixtieth; And mid the bravest of the brave, were none who could surpass, In courage, men from Russell, loyal Russell on the Grasse."

He paused - the comrade lower bent to hear his latest word, The swelling roar <;>_f battle was the only sound he heard. The wounded heart had ceased to beat, the spark of life had fled, Another happy home was filled with sorrow for the dead. One more recruit was mustered in, to swell the lengthening train, Of troops en route from Gettysburg to Heaven's peaceful plain. And none who knew him doubts that good St. Peter let him pass, And showed him where the boys were camped from "Russell on the Grasse." CORRECTIONS
